Shakespeare is not a 'mystery man' who 'remains unidentified to this day.'

In fact, despite the common Oxfordian trope that the Bard's life is poorly documented, the truth is, we have much more available authenticated documentation of Shakespeare's life than many of his contemporaries.

I won't go into all of the pro-Shakespeare arguments here. But he wasn't an 'unidentified' 'mystery man' by any stretch.
